Thank you Canuck935 and dumpy, now I know to avoid the cheap batteries and select them for quality, I think the canon battery that comes with the camera has a good reputation.

dumpy; it wasn't Broadway photo but I think they fell from the same tree. They are called Techondigital, after I ordered the camera I got an e-mail wanting me to call them and confirm the order. I have been doing woodcarvings for several years and have placed more orders for tools and wood over the internet than I care to admit but have never had anyone ask me to call them to confirm an order, so the red flags went up. When I called them the first thing he said was "what battery do you want with the camera"? I said I would just take the one that is advertised and he said it would only last 20 minutes but the 5 hour battery would be much better. When I insisted on the battery that was advertised he said the camera was backordered and would take 8 weeks to fill the order so I cancelled the order. They now have my name, address, phone number and credit card information
and I'm a little uneasy about that.

The second order was with Lenses N'More, I received an e-mail from them saying the camera was sold out but they now have my personal information too.

I wish I had checked the post in the "Camera Dealer Feedback" forum for trusted sites before I ordered anything but I know better now.
Here are their ratings
Techondigital 0/10 for 6mo and 0/10 lifetime
Lenses N'More 0.25/10 6mo and 0.17/10 lifetime

The only thing I have bought so far was the lens from Adorama and I feel a little better about that one but after the experience I had with the others I'll hold off on the praise until I see the lens.

Adorama 8.77/10 6mo and 8.09/10 lifetime

Thanks Guys
Happy Trails
Bill
